<h2>Answer:</h2>

Hence, the rate of change of the price of apples is:

                             $ 0.20 per year.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let P denote the price of apples.

It is given that the initial price of apples is: $ 0.30 per lb.

i.e. P(0)=$ 0.30 per lb.

Also, the price of the apples after three years is:  $ 0.90 per lb.

i.e.  P(3)=$ 0.90 per lb.

Hence, the rate of the change of the price of apples is calculated by:

Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{P(3)-P(0)}{3-0}

Now on putting the value in the formula we obtain:

Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.90-0.30}{3-0}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.60}{3}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=0.20

                          The rate of change is:

                             $ 0.20 per year.

Suppose you roll a six-sided 50 times and calculate the mean roll, x .
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

0.07

a. the distribution will be a normal distribution.

c. we would suspicious ins there is a 2 % chance of getting the required value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times, t be = 50

Assuming that the die is fair

standard deviation = 1.71

mean = 3.5

suppose we want tp find the probability of a 2 showing. The solution becomes:

probability = \frac{2}{6}  = \frac{1}{3}

c. the  mean of rolls will be 0.07

A semicircular flower bed has a diameter of 3 metres. What is the area of the flower bed?
Yuri [45]

The area of circle is

A_{\text{circle}}=\pi r^2.

Then the area of semicircular region is

A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^2.

If r=3 m, you have

A_{\text{semicircular region}}=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi \cdot 3^2=\dfrac{9\pi}{2}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13 sq. m.

Answer: A_{\text{semicircular region}}=4.5\pi \approx 14.13 sq. m.

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination. 8x + 7y = 39 4x – 14y = –68 Multiply the first equation t
igomit [66]
8x +7y = 39 multiply everything by 2
2(8x +7y = 39)
16x +14y = 78
+4x - 14y= -68
-------------------------
20x = 10
20x /20 = 10/20
x = 1/2

Plug x into first formula
8 x + 7y =39
8(1/2) 7y=39
4+ 7y =39
4-4+7y =39-4
7y =35
7y/7 = 35/7
y = 5
